Chapter 20: A story to Tell

Naomi's Point of View

Nagising ako sa sinag ng ilaw na tumama sa mukha ko. It was too light that I need to cover my eyes.

Naniningkit ang mga kong tumingin sa paligid. It was really bright. Tumingin ako sa tabi ko and I was inside of the room already nakabukas lang pala ang glass roof sa tapat ng kama.

Ngayon ko lang narealize na may ganyan pala. I slowly went down from the bed and thanks ghad walang masakit sa'kin.

I felt like I was destroyed last night but actually it feels good. Not as the first time we did, Hindi talaga ako nakalakad ng isang araw.

I went straight to the restroom at naligo. Sumagi sa isipan ko ang naging pagtatalik namin kagabi.

Can't help but to smile. It really feels good when you do it with the person you loved.

Then my smiles fade away when I remember him. Lumabas na ako ng banyo at tiningnan ang sarili ko sa salamin.

Bairon left a mark on my chest and it was nice to see. Umikot ako sa salamin at tiningnan ang kabuoan ko. How I wish I can return the time where it's Bairon only.

It's too late to regret. I hope he'll still forgive me after what I've done. Because if not it feels like I was a trash. Dirty trash. Being thrown after used.

I sigh before picking some clothes at lumabas ng kwarto.

I froze when I saw the man standing beside the wall. He's fierce and stunning. Pakiramdam ko ay tinakasan ako mg dugo na ikinaputla ko ng husto.

"Did you sleep well sweetheart?" He stand straight at lumapit sa'kin. Nabato ako sa kinatatayuan ako at hindi ko magawang umimik.

"I wonder how's your night" I can't stare with his vengeful eyes, they're too scary. I manage to clear my throat at nilabanan ang titig niya.

"Akiro.." I called his name then he smiled to me at hinalikan ako sa labi. How badly i want to avoid it but I end up kissing him back.

"Shall we go upstairs?" Maraming naglalarong tanong sa utak ko especially Bairon.

Habang palabas kami papunta sa top deck ay hindi ko maiwasang kabahan ng sobra. I don't feel right about things here.

Paano siya nakarating sa Yacht ni Bairon?

Where's Bairon? Anong ginawa niya?

I thought he will stay in Europe but how come he find me?

Oh no did Honoyami told him?

Napakapit ako ng husto kay Akiro nang makakita ako ng mga patay sa may cabin. It was his men.

"He's hard to catch, I need to use dirty tricks just to knock him down" napalunok ako sa sinabi niya. Seryoso siyang nakatingin sa sahig at sinipa ang kamay ng isang patay na humarang sa daraanan niya.

"B-bairon" I whispered when I saw him being tied on the chair habang binubugbog ni Honoyami. Napatakip ako ng bibig at tinulak si Hon sa tabi.

"B-bairon" I cupped his face para tumingin siya sa'kin.

"Naomi" niyakap ko siya ng puno ng hinanakit at galit sa nanakit sa kanya but I'm not that strong.

"I let you because you said you'll get rid of Blaire Solaire, you didn't tell that you're about to flirt with the middle son of Solaire" Napapikit ako sa sinabi ni Akiro.

"You! Moron let go of me and let's duel in a fair fight!" Singhal ni Bairon kay Akiro bago siya tumingin sa'kin.

"What is he talking about Naomi? Paano ka nakilala ng lalaking yon! What's happening here?"

"Bairon.. forgive me.. but"

"She's my girlfriend! Stupid!" Hinila ako ni Akiro sa tabi niya at hinawakan ng mahigpit sa beywang.

"Fuck you! She's my wife!!!" Bairon tried to move but Honoyami punch him again.

"W-wife?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Akiro at kunot noong tumingin sa'kin.

"What is this man talking about Naomi?"

Lagot na! I'm totally trashed.

"H-he's my husband be-before I was taken and save by you" nabigla siya sa sinabi ko at pinagbabaril ang kawalan bago itinutok kay Bairon ang baril.

"No! No! Please! Akiro! Let me explain!"

"Don't kill him!" Hinawakan ko ang braso niya at hinila palayo sa noo ni Bairon ang baril.

"Naomi?" Bairon just ask my name. Alam kong naguguluhan din siya sa nangyayari. I just fooled the two of them.

"Y-you must because right now I will surely kill this man" ibinaba niya ang baril at itinapon sa kung saan.

Hinarap niya ako at isinandal sa railing. "Tell me sweetheart. Is he?" Iniharap niya akong kay Bairon habang tinuturo niya si Bairon sa noo.

"Is he the one who impregnate you?" He ask again na ikinapikit ko.

"Anong impregnate? We have-"

"I'm not talking to you shut up!" Nanggagalaiti niyang sagot kay Bairon. Tumingin ulit siya sa'kin at hinawakan ako sa panga.

"Don't you dare hurt her dumbass! I swear kapag nakawala ako dito puputulan kita ng ulo!"

"Tell me! Naomi! Is he the father of your child! Is he the one who impregnate you! 5 years ago!" He shouted all over my face na ikinahagulhol ko ng husto.

"Oo! Oo! It's him! Dahil asawa ko siya!" He slapped me so hard when I answer him back. Napakapit ako ng husto sa railings dahil sa ginawa niya.

"How dare you slap her!!!"

Napahawak ako sa pisngi ko at hindi makapaniwalang tumingin kay Akiro. "I-im sorry.. i-i didn't mean" he tried to hold me but I refuse too.

"It's just that! You totally hurt me!" I avoid him pero hinawakan niya ako sa mga braso ko at hinila palapit sa kanya. Umawang ang bibig ko ng suntukin niya ako sa sikmura.

Nanghihina akong napaupo sa sakit. "Fuck you!! Akiro!" My visions started to get blurry and all I saw was Bairon standing fighting back against Akiro.

I tried to reach him but I'm so weak to stand again. My eyes slowly closing and I was eaten by darkness.

All I heard was a gun firing in my surroundings.

I was wearing white walking in a grassland beside the cliff. A smile featured to my face. The place was bright and peaceful.

The cold breeze of the wind shivered my body so I walk down in the stairs. There's a small cave near the shore.

Then I heard a small voice calling me...

"Mommy..."

"Mommy..."

"Mommy.."

I turn around and gaze to a little child. It was a boy holding a gun. He pointed the gun to me then he said " Bang! Mommy! You're dead!" He laugh then he run away.

Hinabol ko siya, I tried to talk but no words came out to my mouth. I can't utter anything, my voice was gone.

He stop then he faces me. He smile while waving his hand. I run to catch him but the moment I hug him, I didn't feel him and he disappear like a ghost.

I look around to find him pero nawala siya. My barefoot brought me back to the little cave. I stare to it before walking inside the cave.

Suddenly I fall and I scream really loud!

"Naomi!"

"Naomi!"

"Kuya Rem help her please!!"

I heard Bairon's voice and everything changes. I slowly open my eyes and I saw him staring on me. He looks worried and he has bandage on his head.

I tried to reach him and touch his hand. He cupped my face at hinalikan ako sa noo. "Naomi? Wife?" I smile when he called me Wife.

"B-bairon" I tried to reach his face and rub it. His tear fall into my cheeks. "Let go pumpkin.. Rem will check her" Someone take him away then an old man came with a stethoscope.

"Can you hear me?"

"Will you raise your hand if you can hear me?" Ginawa ko ang inutos niya. Tumango tango siya.

"B-bairon"

"She's fine Lady Rhys. She's in normal condition. A few days rest is enough to regain her strength back to normal" I tried to move my feet at dahan dahan akog sumandal sa unan.

"Leave us awhile." Yumuko sa kaharap niya ang matandang lalaki at umalis. Nasilaw ako sa liwanag mula sa glass wall. I couldn't see the face of someone not until she sit beside the bed.

"How are you?" She said with an angelic voice. I saw her face, she's a beautiful old woman with elegance.

"W-where am I? Where's Bairon?" I look around to see where am I but all I see was the sea from the glass wall.

The room was filled with gradient color combination of Sky blue and white. Furnitures were made of carved woods.

"Bairon will be here soon. You're in Isla Paraiso or should I call it Solaire El Dorado" tumitig akong muli sa kanya. She's smiling to me then she took my hand and squeeze it.

"Oh by the way I know you're hungry. Eat first before you see my son" she stand and get a pack of fruits on a plate.

Bumalik siya sa pagkakaupo sa kama at itinaas ang grapes. " Eat some fruits Naomi. Ipagluluto kita ng pagkain na gusto mo. I'm sorry if this is the only food I can serve you right now." Napangiti ako sa sinabi niya.

"O-okay lang po. Thank you" binuksan ko ang bibig ko at kinain ang isinubo niya sa'kin.

"A-ako na po. Nakakahiya po sa iny-"

"No it's okay.. leave it all to me. It's fine" Wala na akong nagawa nang subuan ulit ako ng mommy ni Bairon.

"Salamat po"

Ngumiti siya sa'kin at saka ibinaba ng kaunti ang unan sa likuran ko. "Rest okay? You need it." Tumayo siya at tinulungan akong magkumot.

"Mom!" We both look to the door ng halos wasakin na ito ng sinumang gustong pumasok sa loob.

"Naomi!" Mabilis siyang lumapit sa'kin at sinapo ako sa pisngi.

"I guess I must leave. See you later Naomi" she wave her hand before she close the door.

Ibinaling kong muli ang atensyon ko kay Bairon. Now I realize what happened halos hindi ko na magawang tumingin sa kanya.

"Hey look at me" he cupped my face and he succeed. "Y-you didn't hate me?" I ask him dahil alam kong masama ang ginawa ko.

"Why would I hate you? Dahil ba sa sinabi ni Akiro Yamada?" Tumango ako bilang sagot sa kanya.

"I'm not mad, I was hurt to know but I'll try to understand as how you understand me back then. I wanna hear you first especially about that pregnant thing he said"

"O-okay" huminga ako ng malalim bago umupo at humarap sa kanya. Hinawakan niya ang mga kamay ko at hinimas ito.

"I'll talk once I face him. Your brother" Gusto ko lang linawin ang lahat bago ako magsalita sa kanya.

Does revenging with Blaire will make me happy? It won't maybe.. ganito pa rin ako.

Seeing their mom who meant to be so kind ang hirap pala. I don't want her to suffer loosing someone.

"Maybe that's better" he said so at hinalikan ako sa noo. "Now you know about him. Hindi ka ba nandidiri sa'kin?" I ask him that made him confused.

"For the past 4 years i was with him, I gave myself. I became his sex slave just for me to stay alive." Naiyukom niya ang mga kamay niya sa sinabi ko.

"Thanks god that mad died in my hands already" nag angat ako ng tingin sa kanya dahil sa sinabi niya.

"Bairon.. I'm sorry"

"Sshh you shouldn't. Ako dapat. It's all my fault because I lied to you" hinuli niya ang mukha ko at pinahid ang luha ko.

"I really felt so dirty being touch by him.. I'm so ashamed of myself being with you, it feels like it's not right." niyakap niya ako at hinalikan sa noo.

"Don't be... Be proud of yourself because you're strong to stay still. There's a lot of bitches and sluts out there but you're not one of them"

"Yes he touch you but I know you never love it the way I am with you. I didn't love you because of your body. I'm still happy and feel blessed that I still own your heart for the past five years and don't forget I was your first, it's enough for me to love you more" hinalikan niya ako sa labi ko at sa tungki ng ilong ko.

"It's not a big issue, some men and women tasted many before the right one and i was lucky to own the very first woman who made my heart go wild and impulsive" he passionately kiss me before he goes down to my neck.

"I love you Naomi. I risk my life just to meet the smartest doctorate student of Pristine University. A woman with class and kindness but a lazy and clumsy lady who captured my heart. Who loved me despite of being a killer. Who accepts my dark secrets more than the other side of me. The woman who accidentally enter herself to me at sinagad niya pa"

Okay na sana yung speech niya, kikiligin na sana ako but it was ruined by the last words he said.

"Will you forget that part"

"I will never forget that memory of us because it was the best moment of my life being tied with the woman I love in eternal marriage."
